A Teenage Love Story (Jakesy)

Chapter 1

Jesy's P.O.V

There he was again, watching me from the back of the classroom with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. We were now in year 12 at school and had been attending the same school as each other for 6 years, since the beginning of high school. We were both 16.

When I was younger I used to have a massive crush on him, but nothing ever became of that. It seemed to be around the other way now, I would always catch him watching me, as if he was taking in every detail. Sometimes I caught myself doing the same to him, he was rather cute.

"Jake!" The teacher shouted, causing Jake to pull his eyes away from me, part of me was grateful for that. "Once you're done being lost to the world why don't you join in with the lesson like the rest of us," Mr Clayton continued to grumble.

I wasn't surprised that Mr Clayton thought that Jake had zoned out because he was bored, maths was one of the most boring classes of the day. Jake had another reason for being distracted though.... And that reason seemed to be me and my body.

As soon as Mr Clayton was satisfied with the fact that Jake was now concentrating on the lesson and turned back around to the whiteboard, I felt Jake watching me out of the corner of his eyes. He was being more sneaky this time, I felt myself beginning to blush, I mentally cursed myself. There was no way he was going to stop now, though I'm not sure I wanted him to.

Jake's P.O.V

There was something special about her, I couldn't stop my gaze being drawn towards her. I'm sure she noticed, I caught her blushing after the teacher turned back around.

I hadn't been listening to a thing that had been said all lesson, and knowing Mr Clayton he was sure to pick on me.

"Ah Mr Roche seeing as I know you have been paying so much attention this lesson would you like to answer this maths problem for us? What's the first thing you would do?" Mr Clayton asked me pointing to the board.

"Jesy," I heard myself saying, the word had just slipped out of my mouth. The whole class started roaring with laughter and a few of the guys began whistling at me. I turned to look over at Jesy, she had gone bright red and was trying to avoid the gaze of everyone in the class.

"That's not quite what I meant Mr Roche," Mr Clayton said between the classes giggles. "Calm down everyone, moving on," He began to say as I zoned out again.

I couldn't help myself, she was so perfect and I wanted her to be mine.

I know it's a bit cliche but after class as Jesy was walking to her locker I 'accidentally' bumped into her, causing her books to fall to the floor. I know it could be classed as a little rude seeing as I did it on purpose, but I just needed an excuse to get close to her.

"I'm so sorry let me help you!" I exclaimed, it wasn't an act, I really did want to help her. I crouched down to Jesy's level as she began to pick up her books.

I looked slightly up at her, I had never had a chance to take it her features from this close before. She caught me looking and I quickly grabbed the last of her books and stood up, she stood up at the same time. Our faces were very close, I looked into her eyes as she looked into mine, she took a sudden step back. I handed her books back to her and used the excuse of dusting my pants off to avoid her eyes.

"Sorry about today," I said trying to change the subject, it didn't work too well as what I had said in class was an extremely awkward subject.

"That's um ok I guess," Jesy replied looking away from me, I could see a slight red tint appearing on her cheeks as she re thought about what I had said. "I better go," She replied hurriedly, pulling her books closer to her chest almost as if she was afraid someone would knock them out of her hands again, causing that scenario to repeat. I watched as she briskly walked over to her locker where her friends were standing waiting for her and giggling. They didn't see did they...

Jesy's P.O.V

What just happened... Our faces were so close and I just wanted to lean in and feel his lips on mine. But I knew I couldn't so I just stepped away quickly. What was I thinking!?

Just as I was hurrying over to my locker I noticed my three best friends standing there smirking. 

"What was that Jesy? You fancy him don't you?" My friend Leigh-Anne asked, wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"Don't give her a hard time Leigh, I think they'd be cute together!" Perrie exclaimed.

"You'd be... Jakesy!" Jade yelled bursting into giggles.

I can't believe she just yelled that, the whole corridor probably heard. Speaking of people in the corridor, I turned to see Jake leaning up against the wall smirking, it seems like he heard Jade's little outburst.

"Can we please not talk about this girls, it's embarrassing," I said awkwardly.

"Duh, what else are best friends meant to do," They all said in sync with each other, it was kind of creepy how similar we all were.

I grabbed my bag and walked towards the exit of the school seeing as it was the end of the day, the other girls followed behind me, muttering something about how cute 'Jakesy' was. I turned around to get one last look at Jake, he winked at me and I blushed and turned back around shyly, smiling like a kid on Christmas.
